Were the Pharisees Responsible for the Destruction of the Temple?

Bible Deep Dives | New
Noel Joshua Hadley

17 And I was grieved with my companions; and being wounded in mind we hid ourselves; for we were being sought for by them as criminals, and as being those wishing to set fire to the Temple. And upon all these things we fasted and sat mourning and weeping night and day until the Shabbath.

Besorah Kepha [The Gospel of Peter] 17

TO this very day, Judaism is identified with the rabbinic tradition of the Parashiym and vice versa. That is to say, the ancient Hebrew faith contained neither Judaism nor the Parashiym and there is no Judaism to be had without them. If you don’t believe me then follow this link to Judaism’s official Wiki article, wherein the unlearned mind will read a series of provocative claims. I aim to go over a couple of them over the following so many pages. You may be wondering why I’m thinking of bringing it up that whole messy business now. It has to do with what Kepha claims in verse 17. The quip about his being wounded in mind probably refers to the cock crow incident and, seeing as how the narrative has turned to his own personal experience, indicates there is much which should precede verse 1 but doesn’t. But then there is the reason as to why he had to hide. Kepha and the other Talmidiym were being falsely accused of a plot which entailed setting fire to the Temple.

They were projecting. Yes, you heard me right. Projecting. In slightly more technical terms, psychological projection is a defense mechanism of alterity concerning ‘inside’ content mistaken to be coming from the ‘outside’ other. Slightly simplified, it is taking your own thoughts, emotions, or desire, and misappropriating it in somebody else rather than yourself. I didn’t intend this to be couch therapy but sometimes shrink-issues cannot be avoided. What I’m about to tell you is something which you are unlikely to hear anywhere else, certainly not from the pulpit. The Parashiym were willing to light a match if it meant taking out their competition. And in fact, I suspect they not only conspired to do so but ensured that their plans were executed. It was most definitely already on their mind during the passion week, and they were blaming Yahusha and company for it.

As you can see, work is continuing on my line-for-line commentary of Besorah Kepha, or the Gospel of Peter. We’re onto verse 17 now. You can catch up with the conversation there or read the entire report in the PDF file below.

Sacred Scripture

Acts 28 ends abruptly and that’s never sat right with me. With the inclusion of Acts 29, we are given a nice well-rounded finale to Luke’s biography and some interesting closure to Pontius Pilate as well. Join me as I continue my Lost Books of the Bible series on YouTube, reading from Acts 29, 3 Corinthians, and the Phoenix of Tertullian.

You can read along with these texts and more on our Sacred Scripture page. 

IN the summer of 2019, I was seated in the wine cellar of a walled Medieval town high above the Dordogne Valley of France, not far from Sarlat-la-Canéda, making phone calls, writing reports. I have given this story in other places and it appears as though you’re about to hear it again. Rob Skiba is a name you that you might be familiar with. Though he had made a name for himself as a Nephilim researcher, more recently Rob had taken a dive into the deep end of the pool via flat earth research. The recorded interviews I conducted between he and Rick Hummer, a fellow flat earth investigator and close friend of his, was published while still occupying that very wine cellar. Read all about it. Chicago Is Not a Mirage.

Word quickly spread. Within a few short weeks, dozens of flat earth researchers began accepting my invite for a private interview, if not a series of interviews. From a 17th-century tower built by King Louis XIV, and with a stunning view of the Alps, I sat down with Robbie Davidson, founder of the Flat Earth International Conferences, conducting multiple sessions. While staying in Dumfries, Scotland, David Weiss agreed to take part in the interviews, as did Bob Knodel of Globebusters. There were others. But when I asked the interviewees to discuss the moments that shaped their lives, among the many PSYOPs, false flag attacks, and hoaxes that were discussed, only these men committed commentary to the false 9/11 narrative.

The resulting recordings ballooned into The Unexpected Cosmology, a book which became a website and was even intended as an anthology. And of course, the following discourse was originally a chapter. It was Walt Disney who stated, “Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.” Those sentiments remain applicable here as well. American Sensationalism: The 9/11 Interviews was always intended to be expanded upon with the inclusion of new researchers. So I’m sorry to say the project became stagnant during the Covid-19 psychodrama. I took a break to tackle other projects. We lost Rob Skiba. Rob offered hours of private conversation regarding his life but we never got around to the big one. 9/11. It was in the cards. Sadly, Bob Knodel died soon afterwards. Voices are being squeezed from an entire generation. Gnosis passes with them.

In the aftermath, the FE community became fractured. People began going their separate ways. Robbie Davidson, among a noted few others who were interviewed for the project, got up and left the movement altogether. It is not my intent to erase his or the contributions of others if only brief. They came, they went, their testimonies remain.

The original vision may have hit roadblocks but it is not forgotten. I expanded this paper a few years later to include testimony from author Pauly Hart, a dear friend of mine. I had wanted to continue that trend every year thereafter but you know how it goes. For the 25th anniversary of the attack I have redirected my efforts to its first large scale expansion, including Andrew Hoy and Darrin Geisinger into the mix. Perhaps others will lend their experiences to the recorder in time.

The following is their report.
